The US secretly approved a financial and maritime arrangement between Qatar and Iran, under which billions of dollars were paid to Tehran in exchange for free passage for Qatari tankers and ships through the Strait of Hormuz, three diplomatic officials now confirm.
This was a deliberate and conscious course of action by the US administration, which allowed its navy to turn a blind eye to the arrangement, in complete contradiction of its declared policy. The move was intended to ease the crisis in global energy markets and curb rising oil prices.

@teortaxesTex This is funny of the “Four beauties” of ancient China two are from way down South(Xi Shi and Wang Zhaojun). Diaochan is fictional and Yang Yuhuan was born 1500 and 700 years after the two aforementioned. When China expanded South the women were considered more beautiful.
@wangxk3@AngelicaOung Mainly a population problem. Shimao culture probably has the strongest evidence of human sacrifice but other cultures seem to have them on a small scale. I do think they’re unrelated to Mesoamericans though. Prehistoric people just practiced human sacrifice a lot.
